💦 Transforming Water Distress into Water Surplus!💧💦

We're excited to announce the expansion of our mission to transform water-scarce villages into water-surplus ones!

Following the successful launch of the "Transforming Drinking Water Distress to Water Surplus Village" project in Kothi village, Kaij block, Beed district on 16th Feb 2025, supported by Axis Bank Ltd., we've now begun work at a new location in Dharmala village on 20th Feb 2025.

Our team at Action for Rural Technology (ART), Yavatmal, is collaborating with the Gram Panchayat (GP) Sarpanch, members, villagers, especially farmers and women, to bring them sustainable water solutions. The community is extremely enthusiastic about taking control of their water needs, and we're proud to work for them!💧 🌱
